I too had a click or creaking noise whenever I turned my steering wheel past a certain point either left or right. Not only could you hear this noise but you could also feel it. The dealer changed the steering rod a few months ago and this problem never came back. I will try to find the work order and advise exact name of the part.
Reading these posts, it now sounds as though these two problems are connected. Did 'gabman' or anyone else find the part references so I can tell my dealer. Is it just the lower steering ball joints, or the rod, or both?

There is a TSB on the PuMa system that calls for the ordering of a special lubricant to be used where the telescoping steering column meets a connection at the other end.
Ask your dealer to search on PuMa for steering clunk/noise and he will find the TSB.
